He meant DoS, or "Denial of Service".  He believes he has found some sort
of security bug/exploit.

He responded to me privately (his C code has nothing whatsoever to do with
the issue), and I do not believe that what he found qualifies as a denial
of service exploit.  If he wishes to bring the actual issue to the bug-bash
mailing list, then we can discuss it publically, but I'll respect his
desire to maintain privacy at this time.
